Know Your Rights at Work

Religious Discrimination Violates State and Federal Law

In California, it is illegal for employers to discriminate against employees based on religion. This includes religious beliefs, observances, dress, grooming practices, and requests for schedule changes to accommodate religious observance.

Under the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, employers must provide reasonable accommodations unless doing so would create an undue hardship.

Religious discrimination at work may include:

  • Refusing schedule adjustments for religious holidays or prayer 
  • Disciplinary action for wearing religious clothing 
  • Offensive comments or jokes about your faith 
  • Being denied promotions or assignments due to religious identity 
  • Being pressured to participate in activities that go against your beliefs 
  • Retaliation after requesting an accommodation or reporting bias 

If your employer failed to accommodate your religious needs or treated you differently because of your faith, you may be entitled to legal protection and compensation. At Employee Lawyers, we take these cases seriously and know how to hold employers accountable under California law.
